Have you run the numbers on this? you paid around 1700.00 dollars for a game.

I would agree that anyone who played WoW for years (which includes myself) complaining about the Neverwinter Zen scheme would be talking out of both sides of their mouth. That does not however preclude others from criticizing the setup.

As far as the sanity of spending over $1,000 in subscription fees to play WoW for six years, as I did. My argument is on a per hour basis it was FAR cheaper than any movie I've gone to see in a theater. Some think that's not a valid argument *shrug*. Whatever. To me, entertainment is entertainment. It is simply a means to fill time. And IMHO, that is all there is -- filling time until you finally die.

Also, $13-$15 a month is the equivalent of buying 3 or so AAA $60 releases a year, something I think a lot of folks do...it's easy to say "OMG, you spent how much playing a MMO?!", but when you break it down, it's really not that out of sorts with any other gamers yearly purchases.
